CLEAN : South Africa says over 1,000 rhinos poache

The video discusses the rise in rhino poaching linked to a myth that rhino horn cures cancer, which spread in Vietnam around 2008. This belief has led to a significant increase in poaching, particularly affecting the Kruger National Park in South Africa. The park faces challenges due to its porous border with Mozambique, allowing poachers easy access. Organized crime syndicates have shifted from other illegal activities to rhino horn trade due to lower risks. Despite efforts by dedicated individuals to combat poaching, they are often outmatched and under-resourced.
